cheese on toast

Grilled dairy bread

Cheese on toast is a simple dish of bread topped with cheese and heated until the cheese melts, typically under a grill or broiler.

A staple of British home cooking, it sits somewhere between a snack and a light meal: I'll just make some cheese on toast for lunch.

Americans more often call it an open-faced grilled cheese.
